About me

I am enthusiastic about Helium, and have learned so much since becoming a member of this professional, supportive community. I love to write, always have. My bachelor's degree is in Accounting. Beleve it or not, the two, writing and accounting (rarely) are not mutually exclusive. I have four children, and they are awesome, despite me. We live in Northwest Arkansas, on the edge of the beautiful Ozarks. Writing is as necessary as breathing to me. I currently am a reporter for Food Consumer, an online journal on health and nutrition. http://news.google.com/news/search?ned=us&hl=en&q=Rachel+Stockton I also am pleased to be an editor for Helium, which I believe is the best online resource for writers and publishers everywhere.

As equally popular as his historic short stories were his works of grotesquerie, a genre that was at once fantastic and ghoulish and which became popular at the beginning of the 20th century. One of his best...
